Explore the village, where you can treat your loved ones to a meal at Ring O’Bells, The New Inn, Blue Boar and Manzil, stock up on essentials at the convenience store, and visit the Grade II listed Thorton Viaduct. Continue into Bradford, where you will find the Bradford Industrial Museum, housed in a 19th-century mill, the National Science and Media Museum, Cartwright Hall, Bradford Cathedral, Bradford Moor Golf Club, and a wealth of restaurants, pubs, and shops. Next stop is Haworth, well-known for its links to the Bronte Sisters, where you can tour the Bronte Parsonage Museum, sample local ales in the Wuthering Heights pub, or hop aboard the heritage Keighley & Worth Valley Railway for a relaxing 5-mile ride.
Further afield is Keighley, home to Cliffe Castle, Keighley Bus Museum, Lund Park, and the nearby National Trust site of Ease Riddlesden Hall. All this and more awaits at 11 Lane End.
This friendly stone-built village can be found in the quaint outskirts of the well-stocked city of Bradford. Thornton has a lot of great places to eat, drink, and shop, including a cafe in the same house where the Bronte sisters were born before their family moved to Haworth. From the nearby Headley Golf Course, you may admire the stunning Grade II-listed Thornton Viaduct on the outskirts of the settlement. Bradford is worth the short travel for its spectacular architecture, plenty of shops, cafes, and cafés, and wide variety of things to do. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is easily accessible for anyone who enjoy being outside; the park's lovely terrain is perfect for a variety of outdoor activities. Haworth, where you'll find the Bronte family house, is only a short drive away. Keighley isn't much further away, and magnificent shopping mecca Leeds is only across Bradford.

Well equipped kitchen. Lovely to have a log burner in winter. Home from home for me over Christmas and lovely that some decorations and a tree were there to add to the occasion. Nice touch. Thoroughly recommend this cottage & would very happily stay again myself
